Explore one of the most beautiful Lagoons
Reputed to be one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, Bora Bora is a natural, colourful, luminous swmming pool with water sports galore for everyone: diving, sailing, jet ski or canoe trips.
Enjoy all these activities at Bora Bora and sunbathe on the unique white sandy beaches at Matira point or one of the motu dotted around the crystal clear waters of the lagoon.
Shark and Ray feeding
You can have the pleasure of feeding the marine life in complete safety. Beginners and experienced divers alike will find something to their taste!
Polynesia wedding ceremony
The mesmerising rhythmic beat of the drum floats across the water, the strident cry of a warrior, and the gentle pulsating Polynesia dance of the islands women on the sand mingle with the strange chanting of Tahua reciting the ancient sacred ritual formula.
Breakfast served from a canoe
The perfect destination for a honeymoon couple, Bora Bora has a wide range of hotels, including the original concept of the over the water bungalow - a real must, with all modern conveniences, overlooking the turquoise lagoon with its colourful fish, and the added bonus of meals served from the sea in a canoe.
Events
In October every year, Bora Bora is the last stage in the largest canoe race in the South Pacific, the Hawaiki Nui Va’a. (www.hawaikinuivaa.pf)
